Hop onboard the tour bus in Rome at 7:30 AM and head towards the ancient city of Pompeii, a UNESCO Listed site. Arrive at the landmark at 11:00 AM and enjoy skip-the-line entry. Be greeted by your guide then spend two hours exploring with them. Learn about the archeological and ancient history of Pompeii, and listen to the tragic tale of how Mount Vesuvius devastated the city in 79 AD. Walk among the ancient ruins frozen in time, and see the remains of shops, villas, temples, and more.  The tour also includes a stop at some of the best-preserved ruins, including the Forum and the Amphitheater, where you can imagine what day-to-day life in Pompeii might have been like. Once you’ve worked up a bit of an appetite, dine on a tasty lunch and recharge your batteries. After lunch, enjoy two hours of free time to explore Pompeii at your own leisure. Marvel at the plaster casts that capture the experience of Vesuvius’ victims, and see the artifacts uncovered in recent digs. At the end of a fascinating day, get back on the bus at 3:30 PM and return to Rome.
